The U.S. strategy for countering China’s naval capabilities with anti-ship weapons focuses on three key aspects:

Plentiful: Increasing the quantity of anti-ship missiles, including modern systems like the Naval Strike Missile and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), ensures a robust deterrent.

Mobile: Emphasizing mobile launch platforms, such as those deployed on ships, submarines, and coastal defense systems, allows for flexibility and makes it harder for adversaries to target them.

Deadly: Enhancing the lethality of these weapons through advancements in guidance systems, speed, and warhead effectiveness increases their ability to penetrate defenses and strike targets decisively.

This strategy aims to ensure that the U.S. and its allies maintain a credible deterrent against potential maritime threats in the Indo-Pacific region. Would you like to dive deeper into any specific aspect of this strategy?
